You want to add it to the view object the controller uses  
automatically, not create your own view.  The way to do this is to  
override _getView() in your app.

public function _getView()
{
	// build a $stack, and then...
	$view = parent::_getView();
	$view->addHelperClass($stack);
	return $view;
}

Let me know if this this helps, or if I have missed the point.
